Journey To Lean Manufacturing

Our Journey to Lean Manufacturing began in 1997, and has continually improved manufacturing and administration processes ever since. The entire team of DeWys Manufacturing realizes that LEAN Manufacturing is a never ending journey with small incremental improvements. We now maintain the right machines, the right people, and the right production processes, ensuring that the Lean Journey becomes an intrinsic part of our DNA. We include the Lean principles throughout all of our processes, from order entry through final shipping of a product. We will continue to enhance our Lean Manufacturing processes to drive out unwanted costs for our customers.
